Just wondering what people's experiences have been with this feat.

Looks like it would go solidly with the likes of Plasmus, Mano, etc. but wondering if the trigger happens so rarely as to be worth it.

Come to think of it I've been wondering about similar "situational" Feats like "And Stay Down!" and others that only trigger on certain roles.

I think I put it on the Alpha CPOC and never used it for a whole tourney.

Seemed like it could be fun though.

The trigger might happen, but you have to remember the feat/recognize the trigger too. I'm pretty sure I never would. I avoid most all of the situational feats (and even SPs) because of that. I'm so used to playing from pre-feats/SPs where just the dial was important. It is easy for me to totally forget the non-dial related elements.

I can't say about Skullduggery, I don't own it. I've played And Stay Down ! quite a bit, though.
They're somewhat comparable.

To be effective, you need to assign ASD ! to a character that you know will make a lot of attacks (~ 8 % chance of triggering ASD ! with an attack roll - barring PC, of course). A character assigned Skullduggery will also need a good number of attacks (rolling a 9-12 =~ 28 % chance, but you also have to succeed your attack and actually deal damage for it to be triggered).

So, you want to assign them to characters that will be attacking during the whole game, and won't be KO'd easily - be it because they have a long dial and/or damage reducers, or they're hard to hit, or you have good means to protect them, etc. .
Skullduggery is better in the sense that it can be activated by ranged combat attacks.

That being said, since the 10 % rule for feats appeared, I haven't used ASD ! much. I often find a better feat for the cost (even if it's rather cheap).

I've tried it once each on SI human Elektra and FF Starter Human Torch. Elektra got to use it a couple of times before being knocked off her EW clicks and Torch never used it at all. It definitely was not a critical part of my game, I can say that.

I had And Stay Down on the SI Hercules in the last game I played and it triggered twice. Deffinately a nice little feat..

I think I might consider it the next time I use Gamora, just in case she rolls a 1 on her exploiting blades roll there still might be a chance to hit with that token and salvage the attack.

The fact that its called Skullduggery is reason enough to use it

I think I've heard some folks say that it worked well with Green Scar, but I couldn't vouch for that one myself. It's been one of "those feats" (like, say, 'Book of Destiny') that sounds like it would be really fun to try out, but I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to play at all, and so I haven't tried it.
Yet....

See, I can't bring myself to use feats like "Book of Destiny" as they feel a tad "rare occurence" for a one-shot use.

I've reached for that feat, pulled it out, built a team to use it, and decided it was a waste of points.

IMO, it is just *too* conditional....and my dice rolls aren't usually good enough *anyway*.

I've used it on Elektra and Gamora, but I never remember to use it, so eh.

If I recall properly, Zzzzax meets the prerequisites for it throughout his entire dial. Skullduggery at 10 range is handy. If Skullduggery is the feat I think it is...

Skullduggery only works on opposing characters, so the 10 range doesn't help.

I used it in Sealed on AA Wonder Woman... I think it activated once, and it didn't give the action token.

There are things I'd rather do with 5 points, to be sure (but it was sealed, so you make do with what you can).

It DOES have the coolest name for a feat in the game, though!

Aren't figures opposing when they are 10 squares away?
